      Founder

      Tinker is a multi-disciplinary creative community third space. It was first created in early 2024 for community members to connect, create, play, and practice vulnerability and failure. By partnering with local cafes and businesses, my goal is to bring a little bit of art and play back into our lives. My BIG goal is to fund, produce, and incubate a variety of creative projects with local artists in a hands-on way.
